Criminal Code Amendment Regulation 2007 (No 1) (ACT)

This case involved a challenge to the Criminal Code Amendment Regulation 2007 (No 1) (ACT) made under the Criminal Code 2002. The regulation amended the Criminal Code Regulation 2005 and inserted a new section 4A which defined terms such as "default application date" as 1 July 2009. The regulation was made by the Australian Capital Territory Executive and commenced on the day after its notification day. The regulation was notified under the Legislation Act on 3 May 2007.

The court had to consider whether the regulation was within the scope of the Criminal Code 2002 and whether it was consistent with the objects of the Act. The court also had to consider whether the regulation was procedurally valid and whether it complied with the requirements of the Legislation Act.

The court held that the regulation was validly made under the Criminal Code 2002 and was consistent with the objects of the Act. The court found that the regulation was within the scope of the Criminal Code 2002 as it related to the administration of the Criminal Code. The court also found that the regulation was procedurally valid and complied with the requirements of the Legislation Act.

No further orders were made by the court.
